Chronicles II 29
1 And Ezekias began to reign at the age of twenty-five years, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Abia, daughter of Zacharias.
E Ezequias começou a reinar sendo de vinte e cinco anos, e reinou vinte e nove anos em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe foi Abia, filha de Zacarias.
2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father David had done.
E fez o que era correto aos olhos do SENHOR, conforme a todas as coisas que havia feito Davi seu pai.
3 And it came to pass, when he was established over his kingdom, in the first month, he opened the doors of the house of the Lord, and repaired them.
No primeiro ano de seu reinado, no mês primeiro, abriu as portas da casa do SENHOR, e as reparou.
4 And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and put them on the east side,
E fez vir os sacerdotes e levitas, e juntou-os na praça oriental.
5 and said to them, Hear, ye Levites: now sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the house of the Lord God of your fathers, and cast out the impurity from the holy places.
E disse-lhes: Ouvi-me, levitas, e santificai-vos agora, e santificareis a casa do SENHOR o Deus de vossos pais, e tirareis do santuário a imundícia.
6 For our fathers have revolted, and done that which was evil before the Lord our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their face from the tabernacle of the Lord, and have turned [their] back.
Porque nossos pais se rebelaram, e fizeram o que era mau aos olhos do SENHOR nosso Deus; que lhe deixaram, e apartaram seus olhos do tabernáculo do SENHOR, e lhe voltaram as costas.
7 And they have shut up the doors of the temple, and put out the lamps, and have not burnt incense, and have not offered whole-burnt-offerings in the holy [place] to the God of Israel.
E ainda fecharam as portas do pórtico, e apagaram as lâmpadas; não queimaram incenso, nem sacrificaram holocausto no santuário ao Deus de Israel.
8 And the Lord was very angry with Juda and Jerusalem, and made them an astonishment, and a desolation, and a hissing, as ye see with your eyes.
Portanto a ira do SENHOR veio sobre Judá e Jerusalém, e os entregou à aflição, ao espanto, e ao escárnio, como vedes vós com vossos olhos.
9 And, behold, your fathers have been smitten with the sword, and your sons and your daughters and your wives are in captivity in a land not their own, as it is even now.
E eis que nossos pais caíram à espada, nossos filhos e nossas filhas e nossas mulheres estão em cativeiro por isso.
10 Therefore it is now in my heart to make a covenant, a covenant with the Lord God of Israel, that he may turn away his fierce wrath from us.
Agora, pois, eu determinei fazer aliança com o SENHOR o Deus de Israel, para que afaste de nós a ira de seu furor.
11 And now be not wanting [to your duty], for the Lord has chosen you to stand before him to minister, and to be ministers and burners of incense to him.
Filhos meus, não vos enganeis agora, porque o SENHOR vos escolheu para que estejais diante dele, e lhe sirvais, e sejais seus ministros, e lhe queimeis incenso.
12 Then the Levites rose up, Maath the son of Amasi, and Joel the son of Azarias, of the sons of Caath: and of the sons of Merari, Kis the son of Abdi, and Azarias the son of Haelel: and of the sons of Gedsoni, Jodaad the son of Zemmath, and Joadam: these [were] the sons of Joacha.
Então os levitas se levantaram, Maate filho de Amasai, e Joel filho de Azarias, dos filhos de Coate; e dos filhos de Merari, Quis filho de Abdi, e Azarias filho de Jealelel; e dos filhos de Gérson, Joá filho de Zima, e Éden filho de Joá;
13 And of the sons of Elisaphan; Zambri, and Jeiel: and of the sons of Asaph; Zacharias, and Matthanias:
E dos filhos de Elisafã, Sinri e Jeuel; e dos filhos de Asafe, Zacarias e Matanias;
14 and of the sons of Aeman; Jeiel, and Semei: and of the sons of Idithun; Samaisa, and Oziel.
E dos filhos de Hemã, Jeiel e Simei; e dos filhos de Jedutum, Semaías e Uziel.
15 And they gathered their brethren, and they purified themselves according to the king's command by the order of the Lord, to purify the house of the Lord.
Estes juntaram a seus irmãos, e santificaram-se, e entraram, conforme ao mandamento do rei e as palavras do SENHOR, para limpar a casa do SENHOR.
16 And the priests entered into the house of the Lord, to purify [it], and they cast out all the uncleanness that was found in the house of the Lord, even into the court of the house of the Lord: and the Levites received [it] to cast into the brook of Kedron without.
E entrando os sacerdotes dentro da casa do SENHOR para limpá-la, tiraram toda a imundícia que acharam no templo do SENHOR, ao átrio da casa do SENHOR; a qual tomaram os levitas, para tirá-la fora ao ribeiro de Cedrom.
17 And [Ezekias] began on the first day, [even] on the new moon of the first month, to purify, and on the eighth day of the month they entered into the temple of the Lord: and they purified the house of the Lord in eight days; and on the thirteenth day of the first month they finished [the work].
E começaram a santificar o primeiro do mês primeiro, e aos oito do mesmo mês vieram ao pórtico do SENHOR: e santificaram a casa do SENHOR em oito dias, e no dezesseis do mês primeiro acabaram.
18 And they went in to king Ezekias, and said, We have purified all the things in the house of the Lord, the altar of whole-burnt-offering, and its vessels, and the table of shew-bread, and its vessels;
Logo passaram ao rei Ezequias e disseram-lhe: Já limpamos toda a casa do SENHOR, o altar do holocausto, e todos seus instrumentos, e a mesa da proposição com todos seus utensílios.
19 and all the vessels which king Achaz polluted in his reign, in his apostasy, we have prepared and purified: behold, they are before the altar of the Lord.
Assim preparamos e santificamos todos os vasos que em sua transgressão havia descartado o rei Acaz, quando reinava: e eis que estão diante do altar do SENHOR.
20 And king Ezekias rose early in the morning, and gathered the chief men of the city, and went up to the house of the Lord.
E levantando-se de manhã o rei Ezequias reuniu os principais da cidade, e subiu à casa do SENHOR.
21 And he brought seven calves, seven rams, seven lambs, seven kids of goats for a sin-offering, for the kingdom, and for the holy things, and for Israel: and he told the priests the sons of Aaron to go up to the altar of the Lord.
E apresentaram sete novilhos, sete carneiros, sete cordeiros, e sete bodes, para expiação pelo reino, pelo santuário e por Judá. E disse aos sacerdotes filhos de Arão, que os oferecessem sobre o altar do SENHOR.
22 And they slew the calves, and the priests received the blood, and poured it on the altar: and they slew the rams, and poured the blood upon the altar: also they slew the lambs, and poured the blood round the altar.
Mataram, pois, os bois, e os sacerdotes tomaram a sangue, e espargiram-na sobre o altar; mataram logo os carneiros, e espargiram o sangue sobre o altar; também mataram os cordeiros, e espargiram o sangue sobre o altar.
23 And they brought the goats for a sin-offering before the king and the congregation; and laid their hands upon them.
Fizeram depois chegar os bodes da expiação diante do rei e da multidão, e puseram sobre eles suas mãos:
24 And the priests slew them, and offered their blood as a propitiation on the altar; and they made atonement for all Israel: for the king said, The whole-burnt-offering, and the sin-offering [are] for all Israel.
E os sacerdotes os mataram, e expiando espargiram o sangue deles sobre o altar, para reconciliar a todo Israel: porque por todo Israel mandou o rei fazer o holocausto e a expiação.
25 And he stationed the Levites in the house of the Lord with cymbals, and lutes, and harps, according to the commandment of king David, and of Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet: for by the commandment of the Lord the order [was] in the hand of the prophets.
Pôs também levitas na casa do SENHOR com címbalos, e saltérios, e harpas, conforme ao mandamento de Davi, e de Gade vidente do rei, e de Natã profeta: porque aquele mandamento foi por mão do SENHOR, por meio de seus profetas.
26 And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.
E os levitas estavam com os instrumentos de Davi, e os sacerdotes com trombetas.
27 And Ezekias told [them] to offer up the whole-burnt-offering on the altar: and when they began to offer the whole-burnt-offering, they began to sing to the Lord, and the trumpets [accompanied] the instruments of David king of Israel.
Então mandou Ezequias sacrificar o holocausto no altar; e ao tempo que começou o holocausto, começou também o cântico do SENHOR, com as trombetas e os instrumentos de Davi rei de Israel.
28 And all the congregation worshipped, and the psalm-singers [were] singing, and the trumpets sounding, until the whole-burnt-sacrifice had been completely offered.
E toda a multidão adorava, e os cantores cantavam, e os trombetas soavam as trombetas; tudo até acabar-se o holocausto.
29 And when they had done offering [it], the king and all that were present bowed, and worshipped.
E quando acabaram de oferecer, inclinou-se o rei, e todos os que com ele estavam, e adoraram.
30 And king Ezekias and the princes told the Levites to sing hymns to the Lord in the words of David, and of Asaph the prophet: and they sang hymns with gladness, and fell down and worshipped.
Então o rei Ezequias e os príncipes disseram aos levitas que louvassem ao SENHOR pelas palavras de Davi e de Asafe vidente: e eles louvaram com grande alegria, e inclinando-se adoraram.
31 Then Ezekias answered and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves to the Lord, bring near and offer sacrifices of praise in the house of the Lord. And the congregation brought sacrifices and thank-offerings into the house of the Lord; and every one who was ready in his heart [brought] whole-burnt-offerings.
E respondendo Ezequias disse: Vós vos haveis consagrado agora ao SENHOR; achegai-vos pois, e apresentai sacrifícios e louvores na casa do SENHOR. E a multidão apresentou sacrifícios e louvores; e todo generoso de coração, holocaustos.
32 And the number of the whole-burnt-offerings which the congregation brought, was seventy calves, a hundred rams, two hundred lambs: all these [were] for a whole-burnt-offering to the Lord.
E foi o número dos holocaustos que trouxe a congregação, setenta bois, cem carneiros, duzentos cordeiros; tudo para o holocausto do SENHOR.
33 And the consecrated calves were six hundred, [and] the sheep three thousand.
E as ofertas foram seiscentos bois, e três mil ovelhas.
34 But the priests were few, and could not flay the whole-burnt-offering, so their brethren the Levites helped them, until the work was finished, and until the priests had purified themselves: for the Levites [more] zealously purified [themselves] than the priests.
Mas os sacerdotes eram poucos, e não podiam o suficiente a tirar o couro dos holocaustos; e assim seus irmãos os levitas lhes ajudaram até que acabaram a obra, e até que os sacerdotes se santificaram: porque os levitas tiveram maior prontidão de coração para se santificarem que os sacerdotes.
35 And the whole-burnt-offering [was] abundant, with the fat of the complete peace-offering, and the drink-offerings of the whole-burnt-sacrifice. So the service was established in the house of the Lord.
Assim, pois, havia grande abundância de holocaustos, com gorduras de ofertas pacíficas, e libações de cada holocausto. E ficou ordenado o serviço da casa do SENHOR.
36 And Ezekias and all the people rejoiced, because God has prepared the people: for the thing was done suddenly.
E alegrou-se Ezequias, e todo o povo, de que Deus houvesse preparado o povo; porque a coisa foi prontamente feita.
